Paris FC is causing a sensation
Incredible feat from Paris FC! The smallest club in the capital beat its neighbor 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France thanks to the only goal from Jonathan Ikoné, trained at PSG, what’s more. A significant defeat for the reigning French champion which does not fail to surprise the French press, but not only that. “ Earthquake ” For The Parisian« a bolt from the blue ” For The Team. And if we go beyond the French borders, the astonishment is just as great. La Gazzetta dello Sport speaks of a “ French revolution “, When A.S. is satisfied with a “ surprise in Paris “. In short, regardless of the superlative used, the success of Paris FC was absolutely not expected, given the 15th place in Ligue 1 of the promoted team which is going through a complicated period.
Álvaro Arbeloa, a second Zidane?
Real Madrid announced the news in a press release, Xabi Alonso is no longer the coach of the Spanish club. He will be replaced by Álvaro Arbeloa. The latter will take over from his great friend Xabi Alonso. A rather logical choice during the season, especially since he did a very good job with Castilla. In Spain, we are even starting to dream of a Zidane-like destiny. It must be said that the context is very similar: Arbeloa is a coach with no experience at the professional level, but he has proven himself with the Real reserve team and he feels ready. Now, we will have to manage a locker room of stars who gave a lot of trouble to the coach who was surely the most highly rated in the world just a few months ago. But Álvaro Arbeloa is not alone and he certainly knows it.
Bruno Fernandes worries his teammates
At Manchester United, Michael Carrick will return to his position, after the dismissal of Rúben Amorim. The mission once again promises to be perilous, especially given the state of the troops, notably Bruno Fernandes. “ His teammates are afraid he’s fed up » even writes the Manchester Evening News. The more time passes, the more the slump grows, and Bruno Fernandes will not have missed any episode. The Portuguese even explained last month that management had tried to make him leave to free up payroll. Internally, his teammates would fear that the Portuguese would eventually break down, but at the same time, they would understand his decision given everything he has been through and especially what he did at Manchester United.
